Description

This is my wholegrain version of a Waldorf salad. Wheatberries do contain gluten but buckwheat is a great substitute here.

Instructions

1. Put the wheatberries in a medium-sized saucepan or pot and cover completely with water by 21⁄2 cm/1 inch. Bring to the boil over a high heat then reduce the temperature and simmer uncovered for about 50 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the apples, pecans and wheatberries and using salad tongs or a large spoon, gently fold all of the ingredients together.

3. Plate the salad leaves first, then add the wheatberry mix on top. Serve immediately as the apple will discolour.
